Wargrave post office to close for refurbishment

People will be able to access all of the services on offer at Wargrave post office for an extra 34 hours each week after it undergoes a refurbishment.

The post office in Victoria Road is due to close on Monday, February 22 but it will reopen once the work is completed on Friday, March 4.

The new-look post office will be open to customers from 5.30am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm on weekdays, 5.30am to 1pm and 2pm to 5.30pm on Saturdays and 5.30am to midday on Sundays.

The Postmaster which operates the branch insists customers will be able to access a range of services including mail, home shopping returns, special deliveries and banking transactions.

It also states a new open-plan counter and retail till will make services quicker and more convienient.

Area Manager David Gold said: “We are making it easier for customers to get their cash, send and collect their mail and do their banking because we know how important these services are to local residents.

"We are confident this vibrant new-style post office at the heart of the community will meet customer needs.

"This modernisation is part of a major investment programme, the largest in the history of the post office and will secure services for the future.”

While the post office is closed customers will be advised to visit the two other closest branches in Henley and Twyford.
